No, Melody wasn't sure. The decision to move towards Ben came almost as naturally as breathing, and yet she felt something squeeze her insides at the prospect of having to frequently face her lost family. She couldn't hide in Hogsmeade the way she'd spent months hiding here. She couldn't pretend the world had shrunken to include only Nora and herself (and at times, Diana, Henry and Ben). There would be rumors to dodge and questions to answer. There would be unexpected heartaches at nearly every turn.
But, at the end of the day, she would have Ben, too. And her choosing him - choosing this for them - had to outweigh all that she'd lost at some point.
"Yeah," Melody replied with a single nod of her head. She subconsciously shifted towards him, almost as if his proximity might somehow squash out the doubts in her head. "Yeah, I'm sure."
